After the graveside I came home and mowed the runway three times to get it good and clean for the fly-in tomorrow then I decided to maiden my Freewing 90mm Eurofighter. I had heard they were hard to take off on grass but she lifted right off and flew great, CG slightly rear of manual recommendation with a 6S 5000 all the way toward the rear, after 3:00 I landed with zero issues and had 3.84v left.
Your going to enjoy flying the Eurofighter, one of my favorites, it will do some nice AOA flybys and landings are so sweet looking.

Sorry for your loss TI, looks like a goodbye worthy of the hero he was. Sending my best thoughts and prayers.
Today was our clubs attempt at a Warbird event. Attendence was not great (only 2 people from outside our club), but I choose the make the best of it. It was windy and gusty above what I would normally fly in, but I flew anyways. 2 flights on the FMS P47, P-51B, and F-4, and 1 on the Little Bird. The big Varioprop on the P-47 makes an awesome noise flying into the wind!

Hey Y'all, Tough day for some of us, though a good time for me to recall the Dad who wasn't my father. Here's to all the Dads and Fathers out there in the Squawk community. Have an aviation kinda day and remember "Jet Blast Deflector" is not a job opportunity." Best, LBI solemnly swear to "over-celebrate" the smallest of victories.~Lucky B*st*rd~
You'll never be good at something unless you're willing to suck at it first.~Anonymous~

Some people complain about the planes overhead. We're just south of the glidepath, and probably less than 2 miles from the base. I love watching the planes fly over, and taken some nice photos from the driveway, such as this shot of an F-16 turning for final right over our house. Of course, if you had a Mustang with you, you'd be ready for your own recreation of the second photo. We get an entire weekend each year of such formations, training for air show certification with USAF pilots at DM.2 PhotosLast edited by Hoomi; Jun 17, 2018, 11:21 AM.

Great pics there Hoomi. As a matter of fact your A-10 and P-51 team from DM will be here in Binghamton, NY next weekend for the big airshow. Our club will have a big static display set-up including my Freewing A-10. One of our members is doing a demo with his 1/6 scale turbine F-16 done in T-bird livery.

I too live under the approach path, in fact more precisely, directly under the Final Approach Fix for the ILS Runway 21 at Luke AFB. They drop the gear as they fly over my driveway. Really great when they are doing NVG missions and return. They circle north and probably about 50 miles out they start turning on lights as they enter Phoenix airspace.
